and covered up in kansas city, twice. epic images. from more than three feet in connecticut, hundreds held hostage by snow on that long island highway. collapsed in oklahoma. buildings crushed under the weight of two snows in kansas city. but it hasn't all been where you'd expect it. amarillo has had almost 30 inches, more than double their average, versus a typically snowier chicago, who's barely topped 20. now, it's time to make up for old man winter's shortcomings. a reminder that spring isn't here yet. let's look at how much snow is going to fall. here in minneapolis, 6 to 10. then chicago will get it, 6 to 10 with some locally 12. d.c. looking for more than a half foot, especially west. some places there more than a foot. and i'm concerned, diane, about the wind battering the east coast by the end of the week. >> it's a really big one. thank you, ginger. we'll all be tracking the snow throughout the night. and next, we held overseas, and next, we head overseas, because america has issued a

blunt new warning tonight to iran about nuclear weapons. and abc's chief global affairs correspondent martha raddatz is in the middle east to tell us what happened tonight and what it means. martha? >> reporter: good evening, diane. sharp words today about what the administration sees as america's two greatest threats -- iran and syria. secretary of state john kerry came out blasting today, warning more help for the rebels fighting assad could be coming. but then kerry turned to iran, saying time is running out for a peaceful solution to that nation's nuclear ambitions. back home, vice president biden took a swing, too. warning military options are not off the table. >> big nations can't bluff. and presidents of the united states cannot and do not bluff and president barack obama is not bluffing. >> reporter: why the heat? remember that red line that israel's prime minister

netanyahu drew, warning that if the world didn't step in by spring or early summer, it would be too late to keep iran from developing a nuclear bomb. secretary kerry arrives here in qatar soon to drive home that message. we will be sitting down with him tomorrow to talk about these world crises. diane? >> and everyone can see that interview tomorrow night, right here. thank you, martha. and tonight, the world is also watching the cardinals in rome. who are informally talking about a new pope and deciding when they will begin the secret vote. but it was a surprise to learn today that one person walking among them was a complete imposter. abc's david wright was there. >> reporter: the arrivals had the air of the red carpet on oscar night. a glimpse of some of the men who would be pope. but who is that guy? an imposter from a bogus group called corpus dei, tried to gate

crash. his cassock and crucifix too short. and on closer inspection, his bishop's sash was just a purple scarf. the swiss guard promptly showed him out. the cardinals are electing an absolute monarch, in a process where the candidates and the voters can easily fit into one room. to foster a frank conversation, they swore an oath of secrecy. do these guys, certainly they know of each other, but do they know each other well? >> by language groups and geography, those ones know each other well. globally, no. do all the 115 voters know each other well? no. >> reporter: as of tonight, about eight voting cardinals have yet to arrive. only when they're here will they set a date for the conclave. today, the papal tailor changed his shop window. now available? ready to wear cassocks in three possible sizes. the color? papal white. david wright, abc news, rome. and now, back here at home, we have the first images from

florida of that cavernous sinkhole that swallowed a home and a young man in his bedroom. and abc's gio benitez is there. >> reporter: this is our first look at the massive sinkhole that swallowed up 37-year-old jeff bush while sleeping in his bed. look closer. authorities tell abc news, the sinkhole, about 30 feet wide and 100 feet deep, could well extend underneath the two neighboring homes. both less than 40 feet away. >> there is no one allowed in those homes and there will be a determination made if they are condemned in the coming weeks. >> reporter: earlier today, crews used heavy machinery to recover some of bush's personal items from the bedroom, carefully collecting his jacket and hat from the wall. but jeremy bush is frustrated his brother remains buried in the rubble. >> they got this big equipment and why can't somebody be hairnessed up in that equipment and try to rescue him? >> reporter: authorities say that's just too dangerous. >> any additional loss of life

would have made this tragedy even worse. >> reporter: so, today, that machine ending the demolition by sending flowers for mr. bush down into what is now his grave. as crews now fill this sinkhole with gravel to stabilize it, we've learned a new sinkhole opened up just hours ago here in the same town. this one, we're told, did not hurt anyone. diane? >> all right, gio, thank you. and we know some of the neighbors near that sinkhole where you are have not been allowed back in their homes, either. and tonight, there is a story that has created a lot of hope about aids. and all the babies born with hiv around the world. doctors say a baby born in mississippi two and a half years ago to an infected mother is now completely free of hiv. they say that 30 hours after this baby was born, they gave her a strong dose of three drugs, not the usual dose of one or two drugs. they believe this big dose knocked out the virus before it could set itself up in her body, so, the next step is to see if it can happen again with another

baby. a reminder, every year, there are 300,000 babies around the world born with hiv. and now, to another medical story making headlines tonight. you have heard the 911 calls, an employee at a retirement community refusing the plea of a 911 operator to give cpr to an elderly woman who had collapsed. what happened has raised big questions about what is right and what is legal. here's abc's dan harris with some answers. >> she's possibly not breathing, okay? >> reporter: we heard the tape, the desperate 911 dispatcher, trying to convince an employee at this independent living facility to give cpr to 87-year-old lorraine bayless who had collapsed on the floor. >> we need to get cpr started. >> yeah, we can't do cpr. >> are we just going to let this lady die? >> well, that's why we're calling 911. >> we can't wait. she can't wait right now. >> reporter: the passion of the dispatcher and passivity of the employee have created outrage

and this question -- isn't the facility obligated to help? the worker and her boss say no, that this is not a nursing home, but an independent living facility, which, by law, is not licensed to provide medical care. while local police said today they are investigating whether there was any criminal wrongdoing in this case, experts say -- >> what happened here was legal. believe it or not, we don't have to be a good samaritan. morally, we should be. >> reporter: back on the 911 call, as bayless continues to lie dying on the floor, the dispatcher tries a different tactic. >> is there anybody there that's willing to help this lady and not let her die? >> not at this time. >> reporter: so, the second question. if a stranger had jumped in, could they have been sued? the answer -- improbable. most states have laws protecting good samaritans. lorraine bayless ended up dying in the hospital. but there is this to keep in mind -- >> the statistics are as low as 3%, just 3 out of 100 people would survive.

you know, cpr, when done properly, does often result in broken ribs, so, it can be very traumatic. >> reporter: tonight, doctors tell us, just because the odds of success are low, that doesn't mean you don't try to save a dying woman. dan harris, abc news, new york. and now, we turn to another story, we're back in washington, on the first full day after the $85 billion in budget cuts kicked in. some members of congress have said it's time for all of us to tighten our belts. but abc's david kerley has been on the lookout. tonight, it's our "washington watchdog." >> reporter: they are iconic. washington, jefferson, franklin. oil on canvas portraits. but ed schafer? remember him? the 29th agriculture secretary? well, you paid for his painting. the latest for lisa jackson, the outgoing epa administrator. a $38,000 portrait.

that's just ten grand less than what the average american makes in an entire year. how about $41,000 for the air force secretary? and $22,000 for a commerce secretary who served president obama for only eight months. we found, in the past two years alone, almost $400,000 spent on portraits. we wanted to show you some of those portraits that you paid for. but the white house wouldn't allow our camera to go into any federal buildings to see those paintings. surprisingly, some of the oil portraits are commissioned while secretaries are still serving. $22,000 for agriculture secretary tom vilsack, who we tracked down to ask -- >> is it time that we stop doing oil portraits of former secretaries? >> you know -- there are so many questions i'd be happy to answer about our budget. i just think that's a really small ball kind of question. >> reporter: small ball? >> it just shows how washington has just become immune to the cost of things. $20,000 on a portrait? that's real money and that's real waste.

>> reporter: today, the white house told us they're spending less on portraits than previous administrations. but what about saving even more? a 21st century alternative. digital photographs printed on canvas. we took a shot and then we went to our local costco. a week later, for less bucks -- oh, not bad. david kerley, abc news, washington. i think that can go right up on the wall. and it is canvas. and still ahead right here on "world news," a big comeback for our barbara walters. what she reveals tonight to david muir about the doctor's real concern and her new day. i have low testosterone. there, i said it.

there, she felt, in her words, woozy, and she fell, which led to that severe concussion. >> so, today, after a lot of scratching and rest, i am fine and i am healthy. >> good. >> reporter: backstage at "the view" today, we would learn a lot more. welcome back. >> i'm fine. you want me to kiss you or you think i'm still contagious. i'm going to do it anyway. >> reporter: only if we're rolling. ever the reporter, barbara hoping to inform others. first, on the chicken pox. the cdc estimating just 1 in 10,000 adults gets it every year. >> i hugged a friend who had shingles. and from the shingles, i got the chicken pox, because you can get that if you've never had it. i didn't know. i had a temperature. to their amazement, they found chicken pox? >> reporter: barbara never had chicken pox as a child and her doctors later revealing that she was likely walking around with a 102-degree fever, which then led to that fall. and it was that concussion that truly concerned doctors most. lots of attention on concussions. people hear about them every day, but it's a serious thing.

>> it is a serious thing. if it does not go away, sometimes you have to have surgery. and the only treatment for it is rest and then you have c.a.t. scans to see what's going on in your head. >> reporter: barbara's doctors conducted several c.a.t. scans, most concerned with what sometimes comes with a severe concussion. blood near the brain. which is why they made her rest for six weeks. she did not have any complications with her vision, as we saw with hillary clinton's concussion. but she did get an e-mail -- chelsea clinton e-mailed me? >> chelsea clinton e-mailed me and he said, "i'm going to get my mother and you helmets." >> reporter: on the air today, she revealed most of her pock marks have healed. >> i have one -- can you see it? >> no, you can't see it. >> and i have a scar. >> reporter: backstage, her trademark humor returned, too. >> you know, people have told me, sometimes, that i should have my head examined. well -- i have. >> reporter: several times now. >> more than i needed. >> reporter: and she's looking

good. barbara told us today this all began with a new year's hug from a well-known actor who she said shall remain nameless. but he was about to develop a bad case of shingles, caused by the same virus behind the chicken pox. but as you heard, diane, the biggest concern all along was the concussion. and barbara said the best side effect, though? doctors have told her she doesn't have to get on the treadmill, at least for some time. >> well, it's just great to have her back. no kidding. thank you, david. and coming up, a little idea that created a billion dollars for a man who simply wanted his friends to come along on his ride. our "instant index," next. and you wouldn't have it any other way. but your erectile dysfunction - you know, that could be a question of blood flow. cialis tadalafil for daily use helps you be ready anytime the moment's right. you can be more confident in your ability to be ready. and the same cialis is the only daily ed tablet approved to treat ed and symptoms of bph, like needing to go frequently or urgently. tell your doctor about all your medical conditions and medications, and ask if your heart is healthy enough for sexual activity.

first 18 months, nursing them up to three years. so when this squirmy infant gorilla's mom rejected her last month at a texas zoo, we less hairy apes stepped in, flying her to the primate experts at the cincinnati zoo. they named her gladys. there, humans, who you see giving her her daily checkup, will teach gladys how to be a gorilla. we've seen that before with or rang tangs. their dns so similar, humans can often take parental roles. it looks like gladys is playing "how big is the gorilla" but her surrogate us, wearing black to resemble her mom, are actually stretching her arms, just like you see hasani here. doing tummy time is something gladys' biological mother would do, strengthening her neck muscles. and this tender hold, all part of preparing gladys for her new ride, adoptive mom's back, just like in the wild. and for that, gladys' six surrogates in ohio will wear these black hair vests. but you won't hear any cooing.
